 At Last ! A book that has it all for finance newbies February 3, 2008
A FANTASTIC book for all newcomers to finance and a briliant refresher for commercial and investment bankers who need to get a bird eye's view of the markets. How do markets inter-relate? What is the history behind the players, the products and the regulators? Stephen Valdez' years of experience as a financial markets trainer are distilled into a jargon-free guidebook. This book should be recommended reading for all new banking graduate trainees. And anyone selling to the "city" or working in a support role eg: Audit, Regulation, Compliance, Risk, Middle Office, Back Office, Law, HR, Sales/Marketing, Public/Investor Relations etc. Get it ! It's worth every cent.
The best book on finance I've ever read September 27, 2007
This is the best book on finance I've ever read. It's a comprehensive introduction to financial markets written in simple language. BUY IT.

This is a great grounding in global markets & written in a plain., straightforward style. I've got this new (5th) edition which has good - broad, but interesting - coverage of Chinese and Indian markets. And the further reading at the back gives good links to books on more specific ares.
Good job, well done. May 30, 2006

The book is an Introduction - a very useful one, which outlines in reasonable detail all the areas of the financial world you are likely to need to know about.
For a beginner, i.e. someone looking to study the industry, or someone looking to make a career in the industry (like me), the book is excellent because the writing is clear and the content jolly interesting!
No, it is NOT a comprehensive guide to risk management, to valuation, or to derivatives trading, or whatever else you hoped it would be. But it IS the place to start - if you happen to have half a brain, you will know after reading it which book(s) to buy next!
 Good introductory book April 27, 2006
Nice introductory book, would be nice if it was more repetitive and allowed concepts to sink in. However it makes a great starting point.
